Ok, here's a weird issue that plagued me today which has never occurred before. I'm at a car show and I need to move my car after the police clear the streets. I turn the key and I get no starter action. I jumped the starter relay and the car fires right up. It did that several times while...

I had my bone stock 69 RT sitting in the garage with the negative cable disconnected and the battery tender on it for a few months. The car was restored about 23 years ago, always garaged and it's got all new reproduction wiring harnesses on it. Today I decided to fire it up, so I disconnected...

Does anyone have any comments or experience with the Comp Cams Nostalgia Series Purple Plus cams for big blocks? From my understanding, these are massaged factory Chrysler designed profiles for .904 lifters with extended exhaust duration to make it a dual pattern cam, and not Chevy profiles cut...

I'm having problems with my brake warning light indicator. When I depress the parking brake pedal it does not illuminate. I've checked the bulb, and the bulb is good. What's the easiest approach to check this? Since I have a four-speed car, this is a concern to me as I may forget to pull off...

My venerable old #4617S 750 AVS on my stock 69 440 runs great, however it has not so thrilling throttle response. My buddy gave me an Edelbrock CH4B and I bought a new Hot Rod series QFT 750 mechanical secondary carb. I threw on the vacuum gauge and dialed in the idle quality, but that's all...

I just installed a new OER turn signal switch/harness, which went in and functions flawlessly. However, it does not cancel in either direction. The previous low budget unit I had in there cancelled fine, but was super stiff and not anything like factory, and it just didn't work correctly in the...

I bought a new OER turn signal switch/harness assembly, but the connector block is not wired. I need to plug in the wires in a specific order into the block. My old harness is gone, so I have no reference, and the service manual shows the opposite connector side which has some different colored...

I just discovered my oil pump housing is leaking on my 69 R/T 440. It's a power steering car, so the oil pump is not the easiest thing to get to. Are there any tips or tricks you might have to do this? Better from the top or the bottom? I do have access to a lift.

I'm going to do a cam swap soon, a .484 lift Comp unit. I already have the recommended 911 valve springs. I want to install these on my stock 906 heads. Should I change the locks and retainers to Comp 10 degree units? Whats the difference between the 741 and 748 part number Comp retainers? Which...

I have narrowed down the issue with my dome light and brake light fuse blowing. It is the console lighting circuit. I isolated it down to that, where would you suggest I look for the short that's causing my fuse to blow? I simply removed that feed wire from the fuse block so everything else...

My 69 Coronet for some reason blew the dome/console light fuse. As soon as I insert a replacement it blows out, so obviously there's a short somewhere. I pulled the fuse block out and it's got about 5 piggyback wires on that circuit. One of them was added on to feed the tach, but the rest look...

I decided to deviate from stock by upgrading to the following parts. I'd like your input on this combo. The car is a 69 R/T with a Ramcharger hood (hood clearance) 440 Magnum with 4 speed trans and 3.54 gears. The engine pulls about 160-165 psi cranking cylinder pressure with stock 906 heads...

I have Federal-Mogul 350NP flat top pistons which are claimed to be about 9.3-1 with 78cc heads. What's the best and thinnest gasket that's aluminum head compatible to keep my compression at the highest point I can achieve with those pistons? Thanks!

Hey Guys, I've been seeing this subject on here, but did not find the answer I'm looking for. My question is: Will a CH4B intake with a 4150 style carb and Ramcharger air cleaner, have adequate hood clearance on my 69 R/T? Thanks!

Do any of you gents have any first hand experience or opinions on the Nostalgia Plus Purple cam replacement? I was no fan of the original, maybe the new technology and split duration made these better?

I decided to do a cylinder pressure test on my 69 440 just to see what it looks like. The number 5 and number 7 cylinders are pretty low, everything else is between 145 to 155. The number 5 is only 100 psi, and number 7 is 130. I was losing light and I needed to put the car away, so I put it all...

I just bought the Pertronix Ignitor II and Flame Thrower II coil for my bone stock 440. The instructions indicate bypassing the ballast resistor. However in keeping in the pure stock appearing show car mode, I'd like to retain the resistor for looks while not using it. Can I hollow out the back...

Can someone please explain the "tagged" radiator? What I'm referring to is an OEM factory stamped Chrysler radiator without the part number stamped (embossed) onto it, which has a stamped tag brazed onto the tank instead. In my case it's P/N 2949054, which is correct for my car....kinda strikes...

I have a bone stock '69 440 Magnum and I'm considering putting on a pair Of Stealth heads to go with a Comp XE274 cam my buddy gave me. This engine is completely factory stock with iron manifolds, iron intake and Carter AVS and will remain so. My question is, if putting these heads on with all...

I'm looking for new and updated tuning tips for today's gasoline and oils, etc. I have a 1969 Coronet R/T with a bone stock 440 still running the original single point distributor and Carter AVS 4617S carb (both professionally restored). The car starts and runs fine however I feel there's...
